Tournament Synopsis
The World Group Structure
The World Group represented the highest echelon of Davis Cup competition in 1992. This elite tier featured sixteen nations competing in a single-elimination tournament. Victors in the first round not only advanced to the quarterfinals but also secured their position in the World Group for the subsequent 1993 season. Conversely, first-round losers faced a relegation play-off in the World Group qualifying round to retain their top-tier status.
The Champions: United States
The United States emerged as the dominant force, capturing their 30th overall Davis Cup title. The American team, featuring a formidable lineup of talent, defeated Switzerland 3–1 in a decisive final. The championship tie was contested from December 4th to 6th at the Tarrant County Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas, on an indoor hard court, solidifying a landmark victory for the US team.

The French team was eliminated in a hard-fought quarterfinal tie, demonstrating the intense level of competition and unpredictability inherent in the Davis Cup format.
